Africa’s Longest Cable-Stayed Bridge Shines Bright in Moroccan Desert


The Mohammed VI Bridge, that honors the King of Morocco, illuminates the desert outside the country’s capital city. The recently finished bridge, which is the longest cable-stayed bridge in Africa, has been spectacularly illuminated using dynamic LED Lighting.

The iconic new landmark, which connects the capital Rabat to the city of Salé, is a symbol of Morocco’s modernization. The Mohammed VI Bridge’s unique architectural design provides architectural lighting effects and gives the flexibility to change up to 16 million colors.

The dynamic LED lighting system illuminates the cables and pillars that run high above the bridge and can create spectacular light shows. The LED lighting system is anticipated to be up to 75% more energy efficient than conventional lighting systems.
